Favorite Opening

What's everyone's favorite fragrance "Opening"? My personal favorite has to be...CREED Silver Mountain Water. The burst of a fresh Mandarin opening is a amazing," Very fresh and cool" compared to other fragrances with a similar openings. I dunno this has always stuck with me to be a favorite. I just wish the dry down was as good, it's been a Creed that I don't use much :/

The blast of juniper in the opening of Divine L'Homme de Coeur is still a thrill every time. Actually the first few minutes of Guerlain Vetiver are great, as well--the citrus and tobacco is most in evidence for the first ten minutes.

'...And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist...'

Re: Favorite Opening

Most scents in my test list, apart from what is already there in the fragrance wardrobe. In most or all cases, it was "love at first sniff" and long before I was ever interested, surprised, delighted etc. by the base notes/drydown/sillage/final impression of a scent, there were the openings that caught my attention.

Best individual example: Armani Eau pour Homme, also my favorite scent, while it does get even better with drydown, the first impression is a treat on its own.
